Indivisible Pittsburgh Says: "NO KINGS: Kick Out the Clowns"

Indivisible Pittsburgh proudly partners with The Black Political Empowerment Project (B-PEP) as well as local and regional Indivisibles and community groups for Indivisible Pittsburgh Says: "NO KINGS: Kick Out the Clowns." B-PEP has empowered African-Americans in their communities since 1986. The persistence and power of their work is an inspiration in this challenging season. We will hear from speakers and more at FREEDOM CORNER and then march down to the CITY-COUNTY BUILDING on Grant Street for more speakers, letter writing, and more. We will join to stand together against Trump, Musk, and Trumpism to say NO to kings and yes to Democracy.

Accessibility:

Mainly flat ground
ASL interpretation

The walk from Freedom Corner in Pittsburgh's Hill District to the Downtown City-County Building stairs is about a 15-25 minute downhill walk. For some people, the walk down may be easy, but walking back up to the start might prove more challenging. We want everyone to know that public transportation is available to ride back UP to the beginning of the march. https://www.rideprt.org/pdfs/82.pdf (Bus fare is $2.75)


WHAT IS “NO KINGS”?

NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political positions, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. They think they rule—but we are bigger than even their worst aspirations.

Donald Trump is planning a military parade in Washington, D.C. on June 14. This display of might is intended to intimidate opponents and solidify his image as a strongman on our dime—we won’t stand by while that happens.

Instead of allowing this military parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.

Alongside local organizers, partners, and leaders from across the pro-democracy & pro-worker movement across the nation, we will demonstrate organized people power that outpaces any authoritarian aspirations.


STATE OF PLAY: WHY WE’RE MOBILIZING JUNE 14

Donald Trump thinks his rule is absolute, but in America, we don’t do “kings.” Since the inauguration, the Trump administration and its enablers have operated as though they have a mandate—but they don’t, and never did. They are going to extremes to empower Trump and enrich themselves, while cutting jobs and services for the rest of us. Now, they’re turning Flag Day into a celebration of Trump.

💰 He’s using OUR tax dollars to pay for HIS party: Donald Trump’s birthday celebration is expected to cost millions of our tax dollars, all while Republicans claim there’s no money for Social Security, SNAP, or Medicaid.

👑 We are united against kings: Trump has already indicated that he’s aiming for at least a third term, and now he’s planning a self-aggrandizing military parade in D.C But the American people don’t put up with kings. Together, we will mobilize in huge numbers to reject this corruption and abuse of power—it’s in our DNA as a country.

✋ They’ve gone too far: This is bigger than political disagreement. They’ve defied our courts, deported American citizens, disappeared people off the streets, and slashed our services—all while orchestrating a massive giveaway to their billionaire allies. Enough is enough. For anyone who thinks he’s gone too far, this movement is for you.

We’re standing together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption. On June 14, we gather to remind Trump and his enablers: America has No King!
